Computer help forum: WIFI PRINTER ISSUE

First of all, I will preface this by stating that I live in Italy. I purchased a printer Canon MG 3100 and in my previous apartment it worked fine with the wifi. Since we moved into this apartment, we have wifi with a different company, our laptops and other things work just fine, but the printer only works now if we plug it in with a USB, no longer receives the wifi.When I try to print, the message I get is that my printer is not plugged in. It is extremely annoying to have to plug my laptop in every time I need to print or scan something. It does make copies fine though.Can anyone suggest anything?

Things have changed, don't expect it all to work when it comes to wifi. I suggest you totally un-install the wifi printer, reboot and then re-install it again. What is probably happening is the old static address isn't there as it expects it to be and/or it won't connect right. It could also be due to your new location possible "CH" interruptions to include an int. building interference. If you have other users of an apt. complex things can get upsetting as too much is going on as similar equip. can interfere with each other even though it works often it may not seem that way, there is alot of backgrd. action happening at times. Of course it will work with USB link, that's a "direct connection" it's a wifi issue.
